hi wis, are you modding the softkeys with atticus method? because when i tried it wasn't working, they just keep remaining the same.

anyway i'll give you first sys a try, my sd just got corrupted last night so i have to put back android anyway :D

EDIT:

this.. no other problem so far ^^

EDIT2: wifi not activating, always worked good with all versions, damn..

[HD2 Android SD Development] vibbuz:
had to return back to my old system.ex4, i had so much lag now with yours i cannot use the phone T_T how did you apply the battery percentage mods?

and after flashing gogodu5sU SW did you change them with the atticus mirrored one? because when i tried nothing changed and the softkey remained the same as before :O

btw now that i write i see that with old sys.ex4 wifi is working again :) i will give now a try to the last mod you posted
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
It should work with new system.ex4 file,fingers crossed:)Please give feedback on your findings:)

Softkeys should be white
[HD2 Android SD Development] vibbuz:
yeah softkey are gogodu5sU stock one, are they? wifi is working but no battery indicator, it's the default one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi Wis,

if I use the last system file you posted, than I will loose the batt%. Due to the fact that on your last system file the SW keys are not 100% functioning, I reverted back to the "original" system file for the moment. Guess what: the batt% is indeed gone on the battery and the SW keys are functioning normal again, but the battery% is still present/visible in my weather widget!!!!!!! Strange, but very welcome!

best regards, Kuzibri - Wisibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Try this one,same instructions as before:)

Kuz try deleting clock widget and reapplying it:-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] vibbuz:
you did it, they're working!

everything looks fine, i'll update if problems will come.

i have a question for you wis:

i managed to change the SW order with this one

*Power) - <Back - ^Home - +Recent Apps - (Menu*

but i cant modify the SW icons.. i tried with zipthemer, metamorph (seems i cant make the apk work) and the automatic method from my pc from atticus topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1413582

how did you managed to do that? :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
you mean like this:D

What one do you want?
[HD2 Android SD Development] yoboy:
You guys rock beyond words! I've got 3 OSes in my HD2 now.. WinMo, Gingerbread, and now ICS! Awesome.. Everything is working fine so far.. Thanks again developers and modders.. Appreciate it.. and keep em coming..

Phone Explorer

Finally got the My Phone Explorer to sync with my Outlook. Took a while, but now it's functioning perfectly!!!!

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi Wis,

For the moment I will stay with the original system file, that also shows the batt% in my weather widget, which is much more readable than in the top bar battery!! Eagerly awaiting your new ICS-SK-Bettery% attempt.

best regards, your teammate Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
I Think these are the icons and layout you wanted:)

Unzip,copy root folder inside ics folder and reboot:)

P.S. it wont change batt% :)

Let me know if its all ok.

all working good, as requested :)

Apps

Does anyone know a good and functional calendar app instead of the standard cone? This is , to say the least, hardly usable. The same counts for the contacts. So if anyone knows apps that are far better than the standard ones. I would be very thankful!!

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Have you tried go contacts ex or dw contacts on market?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
No my dear teammate, thats's why I posted the question. Searching the market gives a lot off apps, but it tells you not which one are good or not, despite the ranking, wich is IMO mainly dependable on the amount of downloads and less on the quality of it.

What I want of a calendar app is the choice between day-week and month view while graphics are also inportant.

What I want from a contact app is a compact design with the choice of the preferred number, e.g. home, work or mobile per person.

Will of course have a look on your suggested apps.

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] vibbuz:
give simple calendar a try, i used it a few time ^^
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Thanks, but I do not like it at all. Used to HTC Sense Calendar:D

Hi guys,

I have been trying to download this rom ., but failed

Could yo let me know how to download via filesonic ??

it did make me confused.

RGDS.
[HD2 Android SD Development] vvixx:
Agree. Can anyone to post a valid link? Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] WizardBGR:
Want to share some experience? :D Because same problems for me - I tried PureGrid Calendar Widget but it crashed so often that I uninstalled it. Now I'm on MonthViewCalendar but it lacks any functionality - for example, one cannot set Monday as week start... it really pisses me off :) Sunday is a holiday and week start is Monday - that is so obvious for everyone but Americans :D

So - which calendar do you use?
[HD2 Android SD Development] benlm72:
Hi,

I've tried this build, and noticed some little problems :

- error message with android speech engine, I have to select PicoTTS instead (this erreor appears with AlarmDroid, when selecting a ringtone)

- always with AlarmDroid, when my phone is set in silent mode and the alarm rings, it's ok but after that the phone remains in ring mode, it doesn't return in silent mode. This is not the same behaviour than in other builds based on Gingerbread.

- Camera is OK, but videos are KO (when press the recording button, I have a forced close message), and no success when scanning a QR Code or a bar code with mobiletag or other applciations for qrcodes : I see them on the screen, but the app doesn't detect the qrcode. This is not the same behaviour than in other builds based on Gingerbread.

Hoping this could help to improve this build. Thank's in advance,

Benoît
[HD2 Android SD Development] manhktqd:
I did like that, copy "root" folder inside ics folder, and then reboot.

But nothing happened on my screen, there isn't any softkey in my screen.

I run WP7 on NAND and ICS on SDcard.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:

Hi wis1152,

Big fan. I'm trying to add your SK mod but for the life of me I cant get it to load. I've downloaded the root file from the link you gave above, unzipped and placed the root folder in my ICS folder, rebooted - nothing happened (I'm booting from SD so when I reboot, it goes back to WinMo, I start ICS from there again.)

I've also tried to extract the content of the root folder and placed them under ICS folder, also nothing. What am I missing?
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Hi,this is very strange,once you have rebooted,check to see if the root folder has gone. Also try replacing your system.ex4 with the original one and try adding the root folder.

Let me know how you get on:-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] yoboy:
Thanks for replying Wis1152, here's what I've gathered:

1) The root folder, along with its files, are very much in there.

2) I've tried replacing system.ext4 with the original one, still no go.

3) And here's an interesting one. I replaced system.ext4 with your system file, the one you posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22106471&postcount=1495

And it works. But not sure if the root file has anything to do with it. I havent tested the system yet, but is there anything different with the one in the link above and the one that root folder suppose to deliver? Here's a screenshot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Try the first system file from that post https://rapidshare.com/files/3328322...h_battery_.zip (first screen shot)
[HD2 Android SD Development] yoboy:
Hi Wis1152,

So far the second file is working great. Wifi is working, all 3 softkeys are working. Is there anything different with the other file from the same post?
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
If you are happy with it don't bother changing:-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
There are 5 softkeys, but only 3 have icons;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi Wis,

I'm using now Go contacts ex and it looks not bad at all. Some other apps told me that they are not compatible with my device, pitty cause they looked good. Only problem with Go contacts ex is the black background with "dimmed" white text. What theme do you use with this app to make it more readable for an old men's eyes??? ;)

very best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] yoboy:
Ignorance is bliss. I could only use 3 of them and I have since changed to the other file. Thanks!

So I've change to the first screenshot file, and all 5 keys are working. One thing though. Pressing the left-most invisible key brings up "wallpaper, manage apps and system settings" option. Kinda like what you'd get if you long press the 'windows' hardkey. And long pressing the the 3rd and 4th softkey brings up the same thing - recent apps. Wifi is working fine. All in all, I'm happy with what I have. Looking forward towards your next mod :)

P/S: For your future mods, I'd prefer system.ext4 files since root folder isnt working for some of us :)

BTW, anyone knows how to turn off vibration during keypress in keyboard? And auto correction while texting? ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
go to system settings - header system - untick touch keyboard. You can also set Silent Mode to off.

Go Contacts

Hi Wis,

I downloaded a lot of themes for this app to make it more readable for me. But trying to change the theme within the prog settings does not work at all. I still get the old theme again. Any solution for that????

[HD2 Android SD Development] CoolApps:

[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Click on the theme and click apply:-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Apart from that, I would strongly advice you to format your SD card. Insert it into SD Card reader - insert into PC/Laptop - Right click the SD card and choose format - choose the slow Windows method. Afterwards, insert SDc Card again into device and choose the SD formatting tool of the HD2 device. Reinsert the Card in PC/Laptop and restore the backupped files from your PC/Laptop before you formatted it.

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi my dear friend,

did that numerous times, but it does not work. Don't know why? When I press a theme, I get the apply setting (which is than already ticked) and pressing again or not, does not make any diiference, it just will not work. When I tick Apply, the ticking mark is gone.

What am I doing wrong??

Hello everybody,

I just see, by reading your post, that my calendar doesn't work correctly.

I can open it and see months and days but i can't create events, and i can't synchronize it with gmail.

Thank you and have a good day.

I've managed to turn off the vibration while texting by going to settings - language and input - android keyboard. But i cant figure how to turn off the vibrations while pressing wis's softkeys. Any idea?
[HD2 Android SD Development] vibbuz:

Battery status and clock stop!

@wis

What seems to be happening lately (or perhaps since your first SWK fix that you sent me), is that the Clock Widget and Battery Widget stop functioning and I need to reboot phone to get them to display the correct time and battery status!

Is this something you are aware of?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Mine don't vibrate.

You should perhaps be going to the ICS Keyboard Settings!!!! and switching off Vibrate option there.

OK the Mobile network works just need to top up The Rom is officially 98% Stable due to Camera working only take pictures :/ and the other 5% is the Force Close in the Camera app when i go to Panorama, Video mode and more

You have just extended the life of my HD2's vibrator. Thank you!

---------- Post added at 03:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

I did, but that only disabled keyboard vibration, not the softkey ones. I turned off softkey vibration by going to Settings - Sound - Vibrate on Touch. That did the trick. Thanks to vibbuz for pointing this out :cool:

Major Crash

I suffered a mega crash of ICS today. No homescreen anymore and no installed apps working at all. Busy repairing this all, so I'm a little while out of the air, so to speak. Cannot sychronize with My Phome Exlplorer at all: contacts yes - calendar no. Will let you all know when everyting works like it should!!

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] yoboy:
Any idea what caused the crash? It is worrying if ICS crashes all of a sudden for no apparent reason :eek: Gonna back up my system now. Titanium backup - here I come.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
No idea at all, just started ICS and my homescreen was gone and I could not get it back whatever I did. So, fresh install needed :confused:

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] gazzacbr:
i have titanium backup, sms backup & restore , and call log backup & restore, all scheduled to run every day. Also i manually just copy the whole ICS or Android folder into a backup folder and my pc from time to time. makes swapping (SD) builds easy (and safe)

you cant have enough backups ;-)

also remember this is a development section using a hacked build from another phone.

i am still amazed by the devs for getting this going so well.
[HD2 Android SD Development] niteowl360:
@gazzacbr

I do exactly the same and make an entire copy of my last working SD card (actually the entire contents).

Works great if you need to redo etc.

@yoboy

In my experience the SD Card is the root of disasters :)

I usually purchase these fairly frequently.

I have just ordered a class 10 so looking forward to see how that works.

I always use a class 4 in the past.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gazzacbr:
@niteowl360:

i have a class 4 32GB card and it 'seems' faster using on phone than the class 10 16GB i had before. it was a lot cheaper than a class 10 anyway ;-)

i do notice the difference if i backup the whole card in a reader to my laptop, then it is slower.

let us know what you think
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Doh! I wish I'd had this ages ago, thanks gazzacbr
[HD2 Android SD Development] niteowl360:
Now you tell me :D

I really have found that you have to get 'lucky' with a SD Card even the same make and class etc the individual cards can behave differently.

That's my experience anyway.

Certainly when things go starnge, often reformatting even with SD Formatter, does not always fix things. That's when I buy a Class 4 4Gb which is cheap enough to waste.

Luckily most of my Audio stuff goes elsewhere!!! and I just keep my latest favourite cuts on my HD2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ralfkof119:
Does ICS require more hardware from our htc hd2 or it asks for the same requirements as gingerbread? I'm getting the idea that because ICS is newer than gingerbread then it has bigger system requirements compared to gingerbread, hence it'll run slower than gingerbread because it consumes more.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm considering trying out ICS on my TMOUS hd2. Thanks ^_^
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
I never used Gingerbread, only ICS on SD Card with haret. Untill yesterday it ran fast and smooth with the 576 mB version. The crash I had yesterday might be caused by SD card dysfuntion. So, all in all it runs very well on the HD2.

[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
After major crash

After the major crash from yesterday, I was able to reinstall ICS, but unfortunataly not able to restore all working Market apps, due to a problem on my provider side with Mobile Internet Connection. So, I could not get connected to the Market to reinstall all my apps. Will keep you informed about this status!!

Hi vibbuz,

[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkChester:
First of all I want to say that the Build is very smoothly and most commonly stable ;)

But I've got a big problem:

Whenever I activate WiFi and connect to a network the Phone freezes or reboots

So, because WiFi is activated, Android crashes again and again - the only solution is to delete Android and copy it newly to my SD card.

I am uing this Build as a SD Build in a directly way - no bootloader or anything, I just put Android on my root directory (SD card) and execute the two files to boot Android.

Sincerly yours, DarkChester.

SW-Buttons

When i unzip "ICS-Beta2-SW-Buttons.7z" i get "ICS-Beta2-SW-Buttons" folder. In it there is a "root" folder. I copy this "root" folder to SD-card "ICS" folder. I boot via MAGLDR and nothing...

Great work here ankuch!

I'm just curious if you have a github setup or something since you seem to have hardware accel working and there's a few other HTC devices with the Adreno 200 that dont have HW accel yet and I'm sure some of the devs would like to see what you've done to get it working. Specifically the guys in the Nexus One/Desire and Droid Incredible forums would really benefit from your EGL fix. How can we implement this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkChester:
It is working from WM 6.5 - but when I connect to a WiFi Network Android freezes or reboots (after that the build is unusable because it will crash everytime I reboot)

Does anyone has a solution for this problem?
[HD2 Android SD Development] pascalsg:
Ankuch.

With this great beta2, can we expect a beta3(after Tytung release the new kernel?) which includes the headset correction? (the current patch breaks data).

In the same manner have you tried this "fix" for USB
